Greek Potatoes & Steak

Before my brother went back to his apartment & his last six weeks of college, we all went out to eat for a last celebration & for Greek food. Which is why a few days later, when I was cooking steaks for my husband & I, Greek potatoes came to mind.

Essentially to make Greek potatoes: peel & half potatoes, add olive oil/water mixture in a baking pan; toss potatoes in plenty of minced garlic, salt, pepper, & oregano.

For the steak I used a recipe from our local grocery store, "Chef Don's Skillet Steak & Mustard Sauce".

Begin by rubbing the steaks with Worcestershire sauce & browning them on high heat in butter. Once steaks are set aside add salt, pepper, one quarter cup finely chopped shallots, minced garlic, then carefully add one half cup red wine. Add one cup beef broth & bring to a boil for three minutes. Add one cup heavy cream & cook until sauce begins to thicken. Then whisk in two tbsp Dijon mustard. Return steaks to the pan & cook to desired rareness.

Nothing like Steak & Potatoes on a Midwestern snowy-type spring night.
